Hello All, I am using loadlin to load up a kernel from from Windows 95 partition. Since my BIOS is old and my hard disk is new, I am using the EZ Drive disk manager for my 10 GB hard drive.
I have a Pentium 200 CPU with MMX and 32 MB memory. I compiled a custom 2.0.36 before and it worked without a problem. I then wiped the linux partition, installed the base slink system again and used apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade to a potato system. The kernel did not get upgraded even though it was a stock 2.0.36 kernel. Anyway, I downloaded the 2.2.14 kernel source deb package and used a config similar to the one I had used for my 2.0.36 kernel. The 2.2.14 kernel starts ok but right after : Freeing unused kernel memory : 36k freed it says: Kernel panic. init not found. Pass init= option to the kernel. I tried using rdev on my custom 2.0.36 kernel (which works) rdev linux.20 Root device /dev/hda5 rdev linux.22 Root device /dev/hda5 and /dev/hda5 is where / is located so that does not seem to be the problem. What am I doing wrong or is this a kernel bug ?
